First Solar sees a doubling coming in 2019
Pv-Magazine | December 12, 2018
The PV maker projects 5.4 to 5.6 GW of solar module shipments next year, more than double its current projected 2018 volumes of 2.6 to 2.7 GW. First things first: First Solar was sold out through 2020 as of the Q3’18 earnings call, with 11.3 GW of future volume booked. The company’s Series 6 solar module and its estimated 20¢ per watt manufacturing costs are driving these aggressive sales.
